2:00 NOT a sweet sound. Look at the strain and the veins bulging in order to jump start the sound on this bugle. jeff stockham obviously skipped trumpet lessons as a youngster. no chops means lots of strain. If you have failed and trumpet so ...go ahead and try bugling.
Ummm a nice sweet sound? Either you need to go back to your therapist or take some more lessons because this was extremely far from nice and sweet. Tragic might be a more descriptive word.
I agree. It's a beautiful mellow sound, but it doesn't sound anything like a trumpet. Probably because it's not a trumpet. French horns and tubas also don't sound like trumpets, in case you were wondering. Don't bother looking for those videos.
@@MrAronRobinson Kinda proves my point: hiding under a fake name, can't play...at all and are wondering about taking lessons or not from me. Son...don't think lessons are gonna be of help to ya. better stick with programming
A "bugle" with keys and ports like a woodwind and supposedly with the "valves" functioning like the piston valves in a normal trumpet. I'll call bullshit on that as a "retired" trumpet player. Trumpet piston valves change "pitch" by changing the overall length of the instrument from mouthpiece to bell. Not by "dumping" air as it flows through the instrument. That somebody in England "invented" that disaster is beyond doubt. It's exactly what someone would "invent" to revise history without knowing how the instruments it supposedly "preceded" function. You don't need the 6 or 7 "valves" that thing has to produce a full scale any more than you need 6 or 7 fingering positions on a conventional trumpet to produce 8 "notes" in an octave beginning and ending with "C". And if there is a "B-flat" version of an instrument designed to be played at proper pitch where being "sharp" or "flat" is a bad thing, that would be even more "interesting" to see and more proof of people with no clue revising history with bullshit inventions. That "keyed bugle" certainly looks FAR different than other supposed "early" brass horns like the "keyed trumpet" that can be found only. Any trumpet/bugle player can or at least should be able to see this thing is a joke and the "demonstration" complete b.s. and all so the "British" look to have "invented" yet another part of American "culture". I seem to remember having trouble getting much "music" out of my trumpet with even a spit valve held open and if you pull ANY of the several "slides" for tuning PITCH to avoid sharps/flats out you get ZERO sound. There are also "demonstration" videos of "British" trumpet players in RUclips videos where they're using "strange" fingering combinations that aren't used in a "conventional" trumpet like using the 2nd and 3rd valves together. That doesn't work because either the 2nd or 3rd valve must be "open" and "up" whenever the 1st valve is "closed" or "down". But the videos show a "British trumpet master" repeatedly fingering the 2nd and 3rd valves simultaneously. Just like this video shows this "bugler" fingering "keys" and the "valves" supposedly opening but yet the "notes" he's playing are all "C" and he's just using his "embrouchure" to bugle just as with any "conventional" bugle OR a TRUMPET, for that matter. Any competent trumpeter can "bugle" just fine and dandy with all valves "open" and if this "keyed bugle" were anything but a fake "historical instrument" the "bugler" would demonstrate a SCALE rather than bugling.
What are you raving about? The keyed bugle predated any form of valves, even predating rotary valves. In this video, he plays a melodic line, which includes whole steps in a scalar motion, something you criticized. I don't know where you saw him 'bugle' on it. This instrument works as a woodwind instrument works, by opening holes and introducing a new hole for air to escape out of. Combinations of these various keys will give you a different pitch. Have you never seen a clarinet or saxophone? Also, not a single valve on the keyed bugle. Valves at the time did not exist. I don't understand the anger and vitriol coming from your comment on a video meant to educate people about the history of our fantastic trumpet.
Finally someone who has some sense here. Well, there were a couple of others too! Good observation. What matters is in 2021, JEFF cannot play trumpet...still!
It's just a short keyed trumpet, the same thing Haydn was writing his Concerto for in 1796. Yes they suck, yes they have an uneven tone. But they predate the air-tight pipe diverting valve. Valves are similar to the things that allowed steam engines. Keys are better than open holes or straight natural trumpets. You only find the key trumpet and precursor to the Cornet for about 25 years in history before the valve proves to be much more useful. Essentially from 1796 to 1820 odd. Before that, it's all harmonic series natural instruments, and after that, it's valves.
The Eb alto keyed bugle is called a quinticlave. It's officially the high pitched ophicleide.
Like a baby Ophikleide!
What about Francis C. Johnson who also received a bugle from an Irishman in the late 1700's? He was a famous African American musician here.
Where is "here"?

Fast Results Trumpet Courses! You are the last person in the world I would take a trumpet course from if you can’t appreciate this.
If you know nothing about historical brass, keep your mouth shut.
